Do you not wonder sometimes, she showed now, sadly, if in some ways they are correct? That we are asking too much of the world?No, he said. They're the ones who are asking for too little.

More quotes by Patrick Ness
Maybe probably ain’t all that comforting a word when it’s maybe yer not dying.
Patrick Ness
People say they want freedom, but what they really want is freedom from worry. If I take care of their problems, they don't mind being told what to do.
Patrick Ness
And it hurts her, but it's an okay hurt, but it hurts still, but it's good, but it hurts.
Patrick Ness
A book cannot apologize for what people may think it should be. It has to be authoritative.
Patrick Ness
There's so much wonder in the world. Don't let no one tell you otherwise.
Patrick Ness
Stories don’t always have happy endings.
Patrick Ness
Librarians open up the world. Knowledge is useless if you don't even know where to begin to look. How much more can you discover when someone can point you in the right direction, when someone can maybe even give you a treasure map, to places you may not have even thought you were allowed to go? This is what librarians do.
Patrick Ness
You are keeping the possibility [of peace] open. No wise leader would do anything less
Patrick Ness
That's what librarians do. They open up the world. Because knowledge is useless if you don’t know how to find it, if you don’t even know where to begin to look.
Patrick Ness
What a sad thing men are. Can’t do nothing good without being so weak we have to mess it up. Can’t build something up without tearing it down.
Patrick Ness
Too much talking, I say. Not enough running.
Patrick Ness
Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.
Patrick Ness
Then at the top of the hill, the road forks. Which just figures. You gotta be kidding. I say. One part of the road goes left, the other goes right. (Well, it's a Fork ain't it?)
Patrick Ness
...the lesson of forever and ever is that knowing a man's mind ain't knowing the man.
Patrick Ness
HERE It’s- Can I say? It’s like the song of a family where everything’s always all right, it’s a song of belonging that makes you belong just by hearing it, it’s a song that’ll always take care of you and never leave you. If you have a heart, it breaks, if you have a heart that’s broken, it fixes.
Patrick Ness
Stories don't always have happy endings. This stopped him. Because they didn't, did they? That's one thing the monster had definitely taught him. Stories were wild, wild animals and went off in directions you couldn't expect.
Patrick Ness
You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.
Patrick Ness
Being a leader is making the people you love hate you a little more each day.
Patrick Ness
Teenagers are the greatest readers in the world - honest, unsnobby and loyal
Patrick Ness
And then a low and powerful sound rumbles thru the sky, like some giant, deep horn. A sound God would make when he wanted yer attenshun.
